THL-VHD125S - Side-by-Side Fiber Holder Bottom Insert, Ø125 µm / Ø125 µm
THL-VHD125S - Side-by-Side Fiber Holder Bottom Insert, Ø125 µm / Ø125 µm Bottom Inserts with Grooves for Holding Multiple Fibers Used When Creating Fused Couplers or Combiners Vacuum Holes for Aligning Fibers in V-Grooves or Slots Multiple Insert Types Available (See Table for Options) Multi-Fiber Inserts are designed for applications requiring two or three fibers to be tapered and fused together, such as when making wavelength division multiplexers, fused fiber couplers, or power combiners. Side-by-side inserts have a U-shaped groove for holding two fibers tightly together in parallel. Double-V-slot inserts feature two parallel V-grooves on the same side of the insert that each hold a single fiber. The VHD320P insert additionally features offset adjustment pins that are used to bring the two fibers in close contact during splicing (see photo to the left). Triple-V-slot inserts have a V-groove in the middle and two V-grooves adjacent on both sides that allow a signal fiber to be fuse
